It is one of those things where the idiom "Better to give than to receive" is decidedly untrue.

I know exactly which one I'll use. Thanks!

Are chicks welcome to participate?

It's songs that won Best Original Song at the Golden Globe that then failed to do anything at the Oscars!

The L&O block is actually season three - Briscoe's first season, but still in the thick of Executive District Attorney Ben "Sir" Stone's tenure. For McCoy lovers, I offer this substitute.

Yes, that's how Ed Brooke became the first African-American U.S. Senator to be elected since Reconstruction, because the most populous region in the Commonwealth is that racist.

It's such a mixed blessing today though. Mahky Mahhhhhk did not get his pahdon! (He has zero chance under Baker.)

"Are we surprised?" Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Fox News about the salute. "After all, we've got a chai-swillin', golf-playin', basketball trash-talkin', leadin'-from-behind, I-got-no-strategy, Osama-bin-Laden-is-dead, GM-is-alive, community-organizin' commander-in-chief."

As Elaine Benes so succinctly stated, I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.

I thought Obvious Child was fine for what it was but incredibly overrated. It's a cute movie that happens to use abortion as a major plot point and yet really is nothing more than a series of repetitive cute meets. There simply wasn't enough material for a full-length feature, which is why it likely was a better short…

A little Sunday night Alanis from the very under-appreciated Under Rug Swept.

Friday night wind-down with Pink Martini (even if you, like me, have to keep reminding yourself it is Friday).
